Hi, Hi, Hellllo!! I’m sitting here at Starbucks fresh out of the gym (full of energy!), trying to get this post out to you guys ASAP because I found some pretty cool, thoughtful gift ideas! And with Christmas around the corner, you’ll want to order these soon since some are customizable and take a little longer to be delivered!

I also figured I’d create these thoughtful gift ideas since I posted 3 gift guides for $25 under, $50 under & $100 under that had mostly clothes, shoes, etc.

So here we gooooo!

Paint Nite Tickets:

So if you haven’t heard of Paint Nite, chances are they have one near you and it’s just called something. But I’m obsessed! Basically you choose a picture you would want to paint, then you go to the restaurant or whatever location it’s held at and they teach you how to paint it! **Disclaimer, I am NOT an artist, so know that you DON’T have to be one! Andddd the best part? They have wine, cocktails and food that you can order during your lesson! It’s a night full of fun and creativity.

Photo Book:

A photo book will always be a great idea! People love looking back on their special memories and what better way to display them than in a beautiful book?! And this holiday season, Nowvel is giving a $20 credit to all new users, which is good for printing their square, mini lay flat photo book entirely FREE! You can get started through the app here or try on their web app for Android.

Personalized Wine/Champagne Bottle:

This one’s for all the wine/champagne connoisseurs out there! What better way to cozy up on the couch, with a cute personalized bottle of wine or champagne during the holidays, while binge watching your latest Netflix show? I found a website that allows you to personalize the label on the bottles! And if you like the idea but don’t like alcohol, they have a bottle of Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider too!

Cooking Classes:

Well… the cat’s out of the bag. I can’t cook! .. Or rather, I haven’t really taken the time to learn! So I would love to take some cooking classes! It would be so fun to take with a friend, family member, significant other or even by yourself! And even if you’re already a good cook, it’s always fun to learn something new in the kitchen, in a social environment! And I know Sur La Table has some good classes!

Map Gift:

I saw a map gift on Pinterest a couple of days ago and just loved it! There are so many different maps for different occasions but to give you an example: They have a scratch off one where you can scratch off all the places you’ve been in the world and I thought it was a fun, unique way of showcasing where you’ve been. They also have a stamp one for you and your significant other, where you can stamp the places you’ve visited together!

Edible Arrangements:

Well.. as you guys know, I love me some treats! And I also love fruit! So I’d love to get just that, in the shape of flowers! Edible Arrangements is your go-to place for this.

Flowers:

But if you’re more of a real flowers kind of person, send a bouquet! Flowers make everyone’s day a little brighter!

Photo Blanket:

With the weather getting A LOT colder, a new blanket is just what people need. But to add a special touch to it, you can personalize it with photos here!

Subscription Box:

The gift that keeps on giving! There are so many good subscription boxes out there, but I especially love Play! By Sephora for beauty and the Box Of Style for all your style desires, while Popsugar’s Must Have Box has a fun mixture of everything. A subscription box is cool because it will continue to surprise them for however many months you sign them up for!

 A Day At The Spa:

I mean, who doesn’t like a spa day? Fun fact: I’ve been buying my mom massages at her favorite spa since I was 16. Since my first job. I buy her one every Christmas, Birthday and Mother’s Day. She loveesss massages and I’m happy to pamper her! It’s a great experience and something the person can enjoy, instead of getting another handbag that’s just gonna go in the closet. Everyone needs that relaxation from time to time! So if you’re looking for a spa in Cali, check out Burke Williams because their spa is EVERYTHING!
